Christ Church CofE Primary School
Cheltenham, GL50 2NR · Gloucestershire · primary school
28th of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.4/10 against 3,861 of them, against 6.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Eco Warriors and the Eco Council, create outdoor art scenes, and visit Greystone Farm Nature Reserve, PGL Liddington, and Sandfield Farm. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 217 pupils in a capacity of 220, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need care before or after the standard day? What specific support is available for the 9.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the Eco Council influence daily school life?
